history

According to its historical village form, Schwetzkow was a small alley village . It was an old fiefdom of the Schwetzkow and Stojentin families . In 1523 Clawes Swetzkow was called myt synen brodern tho Schwetzkow . Later ownership passed to Peter Georg von Kleist .

In the 18th century, Schwetzkow changed hands several times. Most famous among them was the Prussian hussar general Wilhelm Sebastian von Belling , who acquired Schwetzkow in 1772.

To 1784 Schwetzkow had a Vorwerk , six farmers and a schoolmaster at a total of 27 fires. After further changes of ownership, Friedrich Karl Holtz finally bought Schwetzkow and it remained in the possession of his family until 1945.

Until 1945 Schwetzko belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . In 1910 234 inhabitants were registered here, the number of which rose to 285 by 1933 and was still 271 in 1939. Schwetzkow was incorporated into the district and registry office district of Hebrondamnitz (now in Polish: Damnica) and was part of the district court area of Stolp .

Towards the end of the Second World War , Schwetzkow was occupied by Russian tank units and infantry on March 8, 1945 and soon afterwards was placed under Polish administration along with all of Western Pomerania. Then Poles invaded the place and occupied the farms and houses of the residents. The eviction began. 137 villagers displaced from Schwetzkow in the Federal Republic of Germany and 74 in the GDR were later identified.

Schwetzkow was renamed Świecichowo . The village is now part of the Gmina Damnica in the powiat Słupski of the Pomeranian Voivodeship (1975-1998 Slupsk Voivodeship ). It is the seat of a Schulzenamt , to which the village Mrówczyno ( Jägerhof ) is attached. The village has about 260 inhabitants.

church

Before 1945, the majority of Schwetzkow's population was Protestant . The place belonged to the parish of Dammen (today Polish: Damno) in the parish of Stolp-Altstadt in the eastern district of the church province of Pomerania of the Church of the Old Prussian Union .

Almost without exception, the population of Świecichowo has been Catholic since 1945 . The connection of the place to the parish Damno ( Dammen ) has remained, but the parish now belongs to the deanery Główczyce ( Glowitz ) in the diocese of Pelplin of the Catholic Church in Poland . Protestant church members living here now belong to the Główczyce branch church of the Kreuzkirche parish in Słupsk ( Stolp ) in the diocese of Pomerania-Greater Poland of the Evangelical-Augsburg Church in Poland .
